These two things are too similar(無獨有偶)
There was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty in
China, his name was (Liang Shaoren). He wrote a book,
This book records many historical documents
that he finds interesting.
There is a story in this book
When China was in the Northern Song
Dynasty, the last king was (Zhao Ji),
He was a first-rate artist and collector,
but he was also a most incompetent king.
One day, a minister flattered him.
Said the minister.
Your zodiac sign is a dog, so we should
issue an order that from now on, it is forbidden to kill dogs and eat dog meat
in the whole country.
He happily answered.
Your opinion is very good, I accept your
opinion.
About two hundred years later, something
similar happened again.
The 11th king of the Ming Dynasty in China,
his name is (Zhu Houzhao).
One day, a minister flattered him.
Said the minister.
Your zodiac sign is a pig, and your surname
is pronounced the same as a pig, so we should enact a law that from now on, it
is forbidden to kill pigs and eat pork in the whole country.
He happily answered.
Your opinion is very good, I accept your
opinion.
If anyone violates this order, he and his
entire family will be banished to the frontier.
After (Liang Shaoren) wrote these two
stories, he made his comments.
There are too many strange things in this
world. Although the characters and places of these two events are different,
they are surprisingly similar.
This idiom is used to describe two things
that happen to be the same or similar
Dear friends, what are your feelings or
thoughts after listening to this story?
Have you read those history books? Do you
think humans can really learn any lessons from history?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
無獨有偶(These two things are too similar)
中國的清王朝有一個學者，他的名字叫做(梁紹壬)。他寫了一本書，
這本書中紀錄許多他覺得有趣的歷史文獻。
這本書中有一個故事
中國在北宋王朝時，最後一任國王是(趙佶)，
他是一個第一流的藝術家與蒐藏家，但他也是一個最不適任的國王。
由一天，有一個大臣拍他的馬屁。
這個大臣說。
你的生肖是狗，所以我們應該頒佈一道命令，即日起，全國都不能殺狗與吃狗肉。
他很開心的回答。
你這個意見很好，我採納你的意見。
大約兩百年後，類似的情況又出現了。
中國明王朝的第11任國王，他的名字是(朱厚照)。
由一天，有一個大臣拍他的馬屁。
這個大臣說。
你的生肖是豬，而且你的姓氏的發音與豬相同，所以我們應該頒佈一條法律，即日起，全國都不能殺豬與吃豬肉。
他很開心的回答。
你這個意見很好，我採納你的意見。
如果有觸犯這條命令的人，他與他的家人全部都要被放逐到邊疆。
(梁紹壬)寫下這兩個故事後，他發表他的評論。
這個世界上奇怪的事情實在太多，這兩個事件雖然發生的人物時間地點都不相同，但卻是驚人的類似啊。
這句成語被用來形容兩項事物恰巧相同或相似
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你是否有看過那些歷史書呢?你認為人類真的可以從歷史中學到任何教訓嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
